- steveklabnik 4y agoSome people have different preferences when it comes to housing. My place overlooks a freeway. I really, truly dislike that freeway. But one thing I do like about it is the noise that it makes, even at night. I find it very hard to fall asleep in silence. Oh and I should mention that most of the units in my building do not face the freeway, and therefore, those who prefer quiet can also get that, even in the same building.

- nemo44x 4y agoYou should really check the air quality you're breathing. I agree about sound, but there's other ways to generate it. Seriously though, check the air quality you breath.
- steveklabnik 4y agoAir quality is absolutely one of the reasons that I hate that highway. It sucks. I'm of the persuasion that highways should never go through cities. I'd never argue living by a highway is good. It's just that one isolated aspect of it that others may find bad, I find good, due to preference.
- zumu 4y agoLooking forward, if we really do turn automotive transportation green, some of the negative effects like air quality will improve dramatically. Though I suppose the accompanying reduction in noise will be a detriment for your particular sleeping needs.
- steveklabnik 4y agoThat would improve that, for sure :) I would still hate the highway for tons of other reasons... and I would happily just play some white noise on a speaker instead in exchange for being rid of it. Oh well.
